The Green Optimistic

There are some ideas that could evolve no matter what technology is used to apply them. For example, James Yarger, an industrial designer, thought of a concept vehicle made from recyclable materials, inspired by Dean Kamen’s Segway.

The vehicle consists of two wheels, a central cabin with one seat that is linked through mobile connections to the wheels, like in the picture above. Yarger named his invention “Yarga YoYo”, because it resembles a yoyo.The thing is to be powered by a hydrogen fuel cell pack.

The large outboard wheels provide superior side impact protection and the frame is to be made from recycled PVC plastic covered in a carbon & recycled aluminum fiber coating. The YoYo can also double as a personal cabin or a sleeping berth.

The onboard computer keeps the YoYo cabin stable, and it can also drive the vehicle, guided by GPS.

Ok, I admit some of these ideas are doable, but most of them are somewhat futuristic. Thanks to Ecofriend for sharing this concept vehicle – I usually publish real, existing inventions, but this one caught my eye.
